Chapel Offering for 2nd Quarter and Christmas Families
Our chapel offering for 2nd quarter is going towards Christmas Families. For the past 31 years at Hope, students have donated to help families in need given to us by Metropolitan Lutheran Ministries. More information about what can be donated will be given out in November.
Christmas Family Information
This will mark our 31st. year of offering the love of Christ through the outpouring of food, household goods, clothing, and gift cards to those less fortunate during the Christmas season.
With your generosity, we have successfully given for many years to those in need.
We are asking for you to consider joining us in making it another successful endeavor for four to five families that we at Hope Lutheran School will adopt during this Christmas season through the Metropolitan Lutheran Ministry agency, the Johnson County Adopt a Family for Christmas/Salvation Army program.
A schedule is listed below and on the back. For these families, the children are asked to bring this to school.
A TEXT REMINDER will be sent the day before to remind everyone.
May the love which God sent down to earth shine through us, so that others may see His love and know of His hope.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. McIntosh at mcintosh@hopelutheran.org (the coordinator for the Christmas families).
